Description

These two volumes would be most useful for the marketing of ESOL and literacy training in the workplace. They are the findings of a national study to determine the impact of such training in the workplace. Areas identified where effects of the training were most keenly felt were: direct cost savings, access to and acceptability of further training, participation in teams and meetings, promotion and job flexibility and the value of training. Vol 1 includes the executive summary, the principle findings and case studies of nine workplaces involved in the study. * Case study 1: Johnson and Johnson Medical (Manufacturing - pharmaceuticals) * Case study 2: St John of Kronstadt Russian Welfare Society (health and community services) * Case study 3: Bridgestone Australia Ltd Automotive Components Division (Manufacturing - automotive) * Visy Board (WA) Pty Ltd (Manufacturing - printing) * Civil and Civic / Lend Lease Interiors (Construction) * Haigh's Pty Ltd (Manufacturing - Food processing) * Victorian Hide and Skin Producers (Manufacturing - textile, clothing and footwear) * Goodman Fielder Milling (Manufacturing - food processing) * Don Smallgoods (Manufacturing - food processing).
